From Discovery Federal Credit Union
Discovery Federal Credit Union teams up with the Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge and the Naaman Network to raise awareness and spread warmth.
This fall, Discovery FCU hosted a coat drive with the Pennsylvania Adult & Teen Challenge (PAATC) and the Naaman Network, which treat individuals seeking help for addiction. All over the state, individuals come to PAATC with little to no personal belongings, including appropriate clothing to stay warm in the brutal winter months. These coats offer the individuals at PAATC some comfort as they work toward their recovery.
“As a credit union that prides itself on meeting people where they are, this coat drive offers us the ability to reach out to a community that may be overlooked. It also allows us to make a direct and lasting impact locally while also reaching out to every part of the state,” said Michele Smith, President/CEO of Discovery Federal Credit Union. “We are so thankful for the support of our members and the community for stepping up and donating coats.”
Members and employees alike donated warm coats and winter gear for the residents of PAATC treatment centers. The coat drive was so successful, the original end date was pushed back a week, allowing for more donations. This year, Discovery FCU was able to collect over 50 coats, so many that multiple trips were made to collect them all.
